Hi everyone,
I've been building with Django for a while now [having learned Python
at the same time], I am about to start my next project and looking
back into some of my older code I can see right away that it's a
terrible way to code Django.
For instance:
Task: Build a web form that can will add, or edit an entry and save it
to the database.
A quick glimpse at my code reveals the following [Actually it's
embarrassing looking at it because it's so basic]:
My question is --- what is the best way to minimize code, keep it
cleaner, and simply adhere to DRY. I'm stumped! I've seen a couple
of different methods of how people handle this, but I've never been
sure as to why.
Any thoughts would be appreciated
views.py
def viewSaveEditWebform(request, pid = None):
if request.POST:
form = webForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid()
if pid:
p = p.objects.get(id = pid)
p.Item1 = form.cleaned_data[item1]
p.Item2 = form.cleaned_data[item2]
p.Item3 = form.cleaned_data[item3]
p.save()
else:
p = pModel(Item1 = form.cleaned_data[item1], Item 2 =
Form.cleaned_data[item2], Item 3 = Form.cleaned_data[item3])
p.save()
else
if pid:
p = p.objects.get(id = pid)
form.item1 = p.item1
form.item2= p.item2
form.item3 = p.item3
else:
form = webForm()
